The United States has officially started selling Venezuelan oil after taking full control of the country's oil resources following a military operation in Caracas. The operation, conducted on January 4, led to the abduction of President Nicolás Maduro and his wife from their official residence. They are currently held in a federal prison in New York City, where U.S. authorities said they will face trial on drug trafficking charges. The first shipment of oil worth 500 million dollars has already been sold.
On January 7, President Donald Trump announced plans to bring Venezuelan oil to the United States, estimating the first shipment at 30 to 50 million barrels. Two days later, he met with top executives from major U.S. oil companies at the White House, predicting potential investments of at least 100 billion dollars in Venezuela’s oil sector. However, most executives expressed reluctance, citing legal and commercial complexities.
Venezuela holds about 303 billion barrels of crude oil, roughly one-fifth of global reserves, but produces only one million barrels per day. Its heavy crude requires specialized refining to produce high-quality diesel, asphalt, and industrial fuels.
